Marilyn 'Peggy' Kiel

Peggy was born Jan. 2, 1925, to Wayne and Ruth Strouse, and was raised in Wooster. She had attended Beall Avenue School and graduated from Wooster High School in 1943, where she excelled in Speech and Debate. Peggy worked at a factory ("Rosie the Riveter") part-time while attending college as her future husband, Albert Kiel, served his country overseas during W.W. II.

She graduated from The College of Wooster in 1947, and married her high school sweetheart, Albert, the same year. She was an excellent teacher and very supportive of her students who would often thank her and show their appreciation for her positive impact on their lives and careers. She retired from Wooster City Schools, after teaching fifth grade for more than 20 years at Pittsburg Avenue School (Lincoln Way Elementary) and was a reading instructor at Parkview, Layton and St. Mary's Elementary Schools.

Peggy enjoyed taking walks, reading, spending time with friends and family. She and her family also enjoyed traveling and camping. The family has many fond memories of their travels to Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Redwoods, and Mesa Verda National Parks.

She was a life member of Central Christian Church, and was actively involved as a deaconess for more than 60 years, until her recent decline in health. Her faith in the Lord was reflected in the life she lived and why all who knew her were touched in a positive way.
